The staff was very nice and helpful. I wish there were microwave in the room or hotel period. Over all the stay was good.

The hotel, location, and staff were wonderful. It was also nice that they offer reasonably priced parking. We hope to come back and stay there again. Only thing I can think of is that they can improve the breakfast a little bit. We didn't rely on it, so it wasn't an issue for us. Otherwise, there is an Erowhon market nearby, which is a great option for late night dinner.

The hotel staff was excellent, nice and helpful, smiling. The only low point was the so called breakfast. It was free and for sure you got what you pay for.

I have stayed in this hotel at different times. It is a convenient spot in Santa Monica including the Pier, it is clean and had covered parking. They give a free continental breakfast. It does not have a pool but other than that I would recommend this hotel.
